Upgrade the R720 PERC H710

We have a 8 bays 3.5 "R720 with S110 base and want to switch to a H710.  It seems that we should get the mini monolithic version of the controller?  What is the part number for the appropriate controller?

Also, I guess also the MX3P7 cable to go with the upgrade, is that correct?

Thank you!

Thesoftener,

Here is the CODE for the H710 controller: 342-3534

The cable is correct:

MX3P7

Assembly of cable to chassis of 3.5 "(motherboard to the backplane

Kind regards

  • PowerEdge R320 - S110 PERC upgrade to PERC H710

    I installed a H710 PERC integrated in my R320, which originally shipped with the S110 PERC.  The controller recognizes the 2nd virtual disk, but not the first, which is the boot drive.  It just shows that the 2 discs unconfigured.  Both work very well when I plug the cable into the S110.  What Miss me?

    Hello

    Between the S110 and H710 RAID migration is not supported. You will need create new virtual disks on the H710.

  • Divide a virtual disk in two virtual disks PERC H710

    Hello guys,.

    -We have a server PowerEdge R720 with a PERC H710 Mini storage controller which has 8 drives 1 TB each of them.

    -We have created a virtual disc, which includes 8 physical disks configured in Raid 5.

    -We have installed Windows 2008 Server R2 and we got 4469 GB no allocated space that we cannot use due to the limitation of the disks of the Basic.

    What we really want to do is reclaim the unallocated space of the existing virtual drive and put it in a new one, so that we keep 3 disks for the virtual disk 0 and we use the 5 others for the new virtual disk 1.

    -Is that possible without destroying the data we have?

    -Help please!

    Thanks in advance and sorry for the bad English :(

    Unfortunately, there is no way to do it without restarting.

    Option 1

    What you have described, you could divide drives upward into distinct from VD, leaving a 2 TB or smaller for the operating system.  It will cost you a value of an extra disk to disk space (VD0 RAID 5 = 2 TB, VD1 RAID 5 = 4 TB).

    Option 2

    You can create "slices" on the disks - you still all 8 disks in a disk group, but you would cut a smaller VD for the OS, and then the rest of the disc space can be a VD for data (each VD will appear as a "separate" disk in Windows, so the second VFD can be converted to GPT and be as big as you want While the first VFD remains an MBR disk to boot into the operating system in BIOS mode.  This will give you return a value from an extra disk to disk space over Option 1 (VD0 RAID 5 = 100 GB, RAID 5 = 6.9 to VD1).

    Option 3

    You can switch mode UEFI, create a VD with all 8 disks (as you did), convert the GPT disk, then install.  UEFI is necessary at the start of the GPT disks and GPT is required for disks larger than 2 TB.  It would also keep 7 TB of usable disk space.

    You can also consider a RAID 6, if you can accept the value of another drive 1 TB of disk space.  Since a reconstruction of the drive may take 1 to 2 days or more, a RAID 6 would provide better tolerance to failures and protection during the vulnerable period that the disc is out of line or reconstruction.

    What should I do?

    Thank you

    It is normal so he can make a full discharge of the battery as part of his learning cycle every 90 days. Make sure that this isn't that. If this isn't the case, the reason, give it 24 hours. If it is fully charged, update the system (including RAID firmware, driver first) firmware. If not fully charged yet or it reproduces quickly, then replace the battery - power down to replace.

  • R320 substituting PERC S110 for a PERC H710 - without loss of data

    I think of his replacement (added?) a H710 PERC our R320.  The vehicle currently has a S110 (software raid controller?).

    Play safe I'll have a complete bare metal backup.

    Is it possible to add a PERC H710 with my original two disks in RAID 1 and do not go through a complete reinstallation or backup recovery?

    It would make life so less irritating...

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi cmhippy, yes you certainly would need back up you data, it is not possible to transfer RAID configurations of a software to a hardware RAID controller RAID controller.

  • Cable for T320 8x3.5 to Perc H710

    I have a T320 with backplane replaceable 8x3.5 SAS drives hot. I ordered a Perc H710 (p/n 342-4203) to replace the H310. The SAS cable has the wrong connectors for the H710.

    I chatted with Dell this morning and they told me that I needed the manufacturer Dell cy7n1. I ordered this. However, after ordering, I searched online and the images seem to show a cable with only one connector at each end.

    What is the correct cable I need?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    CY7N1 is a cable to connect to a backplane 4HDD. Background cable basket of 8HDD is DJXF7.

  • PERC H710 options

    Just got a PowerEdge T320 with controller Perc H710. There are a few configuration options undocumented in the help manual, or online. Cannot find anything on the web as well. It is "set the speed of the link to G3" and "Disk Cache". What are doing? And how to configure them, taking into account that the server will run Windows server 2008 R2?

    Simon

    Probably best to leave 'Disk Cache' disabled... the controller uses a battery backup cache, so if the system loses power, the unwritten data is kept in the cache.  Disk cache HARD disc has NO protection, so if the power is lost on the server, data not written to the disk cache will be lost, causing corruption.  This should be used if you have taken extraordinary measures to ensure that the system never loses power (or the integrity of the data is not critical).

    I can't that guess the 'Set Link Speed to G3' might actually be 3G, which means she restricted protocols of flow to 3 Gbps (SATA II/SAS I) instead of the 6 GB/s (SATA III/SAS II) that he is capable of.  If you use the appropriate drives (SAS or enterprise SATA II/III), there should not be any reason to enable this, because it's probably a compatibility setting for SATA I / II of readers whose speed cannot be used correctly with the controller, but if you use decent readers, that shouldn't be a problem.

  • PERC H710 downloads?

    Page drivers and downloads for my T320 doesn't seem to understand anything for the Perc H710 RAID controller I.  I searched Dell support site and did not find a relevant page.

    Where can I find updated firmware to date and any other software that I might want to use to keep the controller to update?

    Thank you

    Andrew

    They are under SAS RAID.  Here is the firmware:

    What OS?

    Keep the OMSA (OpenManage Server Administrator) to update will inform you when the firmware/drivers are obsolete:

  • Upgrade the OS on Mac Pro 2009 OS 10.5.8 to a newer version without Apple Store

    Hello Mac Fans,

    I need upgrade OS on a Mac Pro 2009 with current OS 10.5.8 to the latest possible version for this model. I don't have app from Apple Store in this version of the operating system.

    • Settle El Capitan on this model of iMac result in slower operation of the operating system? My computer is too old for the El Capitan? If so which version should I update and where can I get if go?

    In addition, it's Mac was having once belonged to one of my friends. Do I need from the previous apple associated with this MAC ID for purchases in apple store?

    It seems to pay to use a vintage OS on an iMac vintage not knowing if it will work even ridiculous. I also own a MacBook Pro3, 1 (intel Core 2 Duo 2. 4 GHz, 4 GB) and I upgraded from the same version of the operating system: 10.5.8 directly in El Capitan and I didn't have to pay. I had however Apple Store that seems to make the software easier to access, but the operating system should be available for free download directly from Apple. I got the ElCapitan installer disk external and transferred to the Mac Pro, but the pop-up message advised that it was impossible to install this version. The difficulty in upgrading the operating system more old iMac is not just for Apple users.

    If you can, let me know what I can do to make the use of this machine.

    Peace

    1. unless you have another Mac, you do. This step can be skipped using target disk mode, installation thumbdrive or NetInstall (Mac OS X Server only), but doing so will probably need scrub or repartitioning the internal drive.

    2. the most recent OS because it is 10.7.5.

    If you want Lion then order a code to download here:

  • Main problems to upgrade the graphics card in my Mac Pro in 2006.

    I am trying to upgrade the graphics card OEM in my Mac Pro 2006 to a Radeon HD 4870 1 GB graphics card.  I have big problems.  The previous owner recommended that my BONES 10.7.5 uninstalling and reinstalling.  I don't know how to do this.  The Apple website was no help with this issue.  The previous owner gave me a lot of procedures I've ever done before, including removing and re-creation of my RAM and using a Kext troubleshooting application.  Any suggestions you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

    a 4870 with 1 GB of VRAM is not a real Mac card (who had only 512 MB of VRAM). Unlikely to show an image until the login screen, if ever. Unless the seller has a 100% guaranteed working procedure to get this working, I recommend you return for a refund - it is not likely to work in your Mac.

    A true 5770 Mac or 5870 is the best approach for a 2006 or 2007 Mac Pro, because they are known to work with everything except movies under copyright, and your Mac is stuck in the 32-bit kernel and pre - 10.7.5 MacOS.
